I'm not on this site yet and I'm hesitant to get involved in another activity of this kind. I try to keep Facebook to a minimum but it's horribly easy to let it eat up time. I use Facebook mostly for friendship not work, though I am linked to some colleagues because many of my friends are medievalists and other varieties of academic. So I suppose LinkedIn would not be duplicating what I do with Facebook, but I still wonder how much use it would be to me... So please forgive me hesitating over your request.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-14120028943433732192009-01-07T20:00:00.000+11:002009-01-07T20:00:00.000+11:00@Daryl Cook.
